Chapter 2059: The Ex-Girlfriend Taking the Blame vs. the Blackened Current Girlfriend (Part 25)

"President Cen, President Xie, congratulations to both of you on your wedding!"

In the fragrant and bustling hall, Gu Shengyin was dressed in formal attire, holding Cen Yuye’s arm as the two were continuously greeted by others.

The eightieth birthday celebration of an elder who had retired from Cloud Sea City.

Although the elder had left the circle, he was a formidable figure in Cloud Sea in his younger days, and considered a respected senior by today’s influential individuals.

Such a person’s eightieth birthday deserves a congratulatory visit, both emotionally and logically.

And the recently announced marriage of Cen Yuye and Gu Shengyin naturally drew quite a bit of attention.

Both maintained their smiles, standing together throughout.

In the eyes of others, they appeared as a loving newlywed couple.

Gu Shengyin gestured to those who approached and took a sip from her wine glass.

Mmm, a bit dizzy.

She showed no sign of it on her face, but her whole body swayed slightly.

Others couldn’t tell, but Cen Yuye, standing beside her, sensed it clearly.

"You can’t handle alcohol?" Cen Yuye asked, somewhat alarmed.

Why didn’t she mention it?

Speaking softly, Cen Yuye reached out and half embraced Gu Shengyin’s waist, guiding her to the sofa near the balcony.

Nearby was a large floor-to-ceiling window and several pots of lush greenery.

Cen Yuye ensured Gu Shengyin sat properly and opened the window a little.

The cool night breeze wafted in, but instead of clearing Gu Shengyin’s clouded thoughts, it further muddled them.

This sensation was quite strange.

In a way, she was actually very aware.

She could sense the presence of those around her, see the varied silhouettes at a distance.

Yet she couldn’t effectively respond to it, as if...

Temporarily losing control over her body.

She was drunk.

Cen Yuye turned to look at the person beside him.

She sat upright on the sofa, her posture elegant, her expression calm, appearing to be pondering something.

But a closer look revealed the faint redness at the corner of her eyes, with her usual clear gaze having lost its focus.

Cen Yuye felt both amused and exasperated.

He had been watching closely from the side; Gu Shengyin hadn’t even finished a single glass of wine.

Is this what they call a lightweight?

Still... this demeanor is rather charming.

He glanced at Gu Shengyin, ensured she was temporarily alright, then stood up and said to her, "Hanhan, sit here obediently, I’ll get you some plain water."

Gu Shengyin’s muddled mind took a long time to process these words.

She seriously nodded, looking innocently well-behaved.

Watching her, Cen Yuye felt a tickle in his heart, like being brushed by a feather, making him slightly restless.

He walked away briskly, requesting a cup of plain water from an attendant.

Upon his return, sure enough, Gu Shengyin still sat upright.

Her seriousness gave others the impression something had happened, leading them to sensibly avoid disturbing her.

It was quite a curious coincidence.

Cen Yuye observed her, certain she couldn’t get up and drink water on her own at this moment.

Without further ado, he sat next to Gu Shengyin, holding the water.

"Come on, Hanhan, open your mouth." He brought the cup to her lips, gently calling her.

Perhaps surrounded by familiar presence, Gu Shengyin was exceptionally obedient at that moment.
